Atenção primária à saúde e puerícultura: uma proposta de intervenção

Abstract

This work aims to describe a childcare proposal intervention for children from zero to one year and three months completed in a community located in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It will be described the use of Operational Groups for the development control and evaluation of General Pediatric diagnoses. The proposal was postulated by the author faced with a persistent decline of child population health indicators in your community. This evidence was correlated with inadequate control of General Pediatric diagnoses in this population, e.g. incomplete vaccination coverage, height and weight gain associated with inappropriate feeding for age and neurological development delay. After the literature review and based on the theory of Operational Groups, created by the Swiss psychiatrist Pichon-Rivière, the proposal was elaborated to improve children's healthcare. The Operational Group is multidisciplinary and includes both actions in health and health education for the population. The activity scenario will consist of four stations: (1) ACS station; (2) team nursing station; (3) family physician station; (4) nutritionist station. Each professional will be responsible for organizing their station and initiate the activities. The health team is convinced of the importance of this Group implementation and believes that children full healthcare only will be ethically and technically completed when all team members were included on childcare practice.
